E3 Spark Plugs are the product of years of fundamental research in the combustion field. The unique patented electrode configuration of these new E3 spark plugs increases the amount of combustion pressure created during each power stroke of an engine, which results in a marked increase in power output, fuel economy, and reduced emissions in all gasoline engines.
Product Features:
Back To Top
Product Features:
- E3's DiamondFire edge to edge electrode provides maximum performance with increased efficiency and a faster more complete burn
- Smoother Acceleration & Idle - The faster flame initiated by the E3 spark plug results in a more complete burn of the ingested fuel charge. More pressure is created against the piston more fuel is put to work
- Energy - Power output improved by 6% on average in the typical operating ranges
- Efficiency - E3 "diamond shaped" side wire electrode projects the combustion spark in a way that more quickly ignites the air/fuel mixture, thereby creating a significantly faster and longer flame kernel
- Emissions - E3 provides a cleaner burning combustion, which translates into fuel savings and reduced engine carbon deposits
- E3 Spark Plugs are pre-gapped at the factory to meet O.E. requirements
- E3 Automotive spark plugs are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a limited 5 years or 100,000 miles from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover plugs installed in any modified engine or used in any racing, aircraft, or commercial application. Spark plugs damaged by abuse, accidents, or improper installation or applications are not cover by the warranty.

I used this on my 2007 Dodge Dakota with the 3.7. I noticed that it took a little while to notice gains on the freeway, but I assure you they do work. Im getting about 14.5 mpg when I originally got 12 around my city full with traffic lights. went from 14 to 17 mpg out towards the country. and from 20 to 24 mpg on the freeway. they work great in addition to synthetic fluids.

I installed these in my hunk of junk GM product. The 1st time out they fowled on me after 6 months in my chevy wagon. I found out I had bad injectors , go figure. Anyway replaced the injectors & a new set of plugs and my MPG has evened out across the board between HWY & local driving fully loaded. Engine is a little more responsive & smoother.Con: The price of the plug is a bit much & I try & get them on sale when I install them in a vehical.Also when you get the plugs the tops are screwed down on the posts of the plug and are loose some times. They use a punch to lock the terminal in place & I find I have to re-punch them on my vise to lock them in place.For the cost of the plug I shouldnt have to do that.I also have these installed in my Mazda and with a new clean air filter and casual driving I can average between 1-2 mpg better on the already great gas milage.But again the price of the plug sucks.

Comments about E3 Premium Special Electrode Automotive Spark Plug:
I installed these on my 2005 Civic Si with 143,000 miles. The original plugs were not giving me problems, but I decided to replace them before anything could break. I was skeptical because of the mix of positive and negative reviews, but so far I have not had any problems and have been driving with them for about a month now. Fuel economy seems to be better by 5-10%. I cannot say if it improves power though, don't have a dyno.

- Easy To Install
- No Need To Gap
Cons

Comments about E3 Premium Special Electrode Automotive Spark Plug:
Did much online research for the best replacement plugs to use. Decided on the E3's. After purchasing them, I found out they are made in China, and not in the US as I thought, since the comapny is located in Florida. I became hesitent at that point, wonderingf if I made the right decision or not. After some more online reviewing, I decided to install them afterall. They installed just like every other plug, except no gapping required, making that part easier and quicker. Note: use anti-sieze on the threads, always makes it easier to remove them when you need to. Car fired right up quickly after buttoning everything up. Idled smoothly, just like when the car was new. Haven't noticed any performance or milage improvement, yet. Otherwise, so far so good.

Comments about E3 Premium Special Electrode Automotive Spark Plug:
Within the first 1500 mile the first spark plug fouled out. I was on the road and had to have it replace by a mechanic in a small town that could only get a platinum Bosch spark plug.He had a negative opinion about the e3's. Now about 5000 mile later I had 2 more foul out. I decided to change all of them out to Bosch platinum so i removed all of the remaining five. The E3's all looked bad.The Bosch plug looked really good.I have wasted way to much money on this bad product never again will I buy E3's.

Q:
when to change spark plugs on your vehicle?Asked on 5/23/2011 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
That is dependant on the application and condition of the engine. High revving engines, will wear plugs much more quickly than a large engined car which is used for cruising. Standard copper plugs usually have an estimated service life of 10,000 to 20,000 miles depending upon design and application.Answered on 5/24/2011 by Just Ask Jacob! from AAP
